Is it wrong that I don't really pay much attention to book quotes, and a single quote really doesn't inspire me? Quotes that really stick with me tend to make me laugh, but really they need the context of the book to be funny, if you take them outside the book, they no longer seem funny. I think that goes for inspirational quotes too. So for what it's worth, here are my 10 favorite book quotes that I find inspiring in some way.
